Breaking News from Tumblr!

So right now, I can proudly say that (instrumentally) the project known as "The_Endgame" is 79% complete. Basic sequencing has reached the final stages. The beats are coming along, and the sound is more and more cohesive.

The lyrics will be coming around soon. I like how this is going so far.

I'm not yet ready to announce how this will all be coming out. But I can give you a bit of a teaser...stay tuned, and check back next week.

So yeah, the blog has been dry, due to a lot of things happening. School/work/general lack of drive to type, whatever. But at least I'm back...

OK, enough of that. As it stands now, "The_Endgame" is still under construction. There is a concept in place, there is a map being drawn, lyrics are being written constantly, and the beats are being finalized. I'll approximate and say about 60-65% of the beats are "showable". That is, the beats are almost there. Just a little push further will do the trick. I'm not giving away the exact sound of the beats yet (keep peeping the Clip Show and the clips going up every week or so on the Reverbnation player/Facebook audio player), but I will say that everything has a point, and that every beat matches the lyrics I've imagined for them.

As for the lyrics themselves, well, I'm still working on it. Got a lot of songs coming together, and there is a bit of a concept to them. It's most likely going ot be a personal look, but not along the lines of 808's and Heartbreak. Sorry, I can't dig it, just can't.

Dang....I don't know what to tell y'all. I want to say so much on this project, but I really think I need to finalize everything before I pull the curtain off and bring it all out. Let's see...what else to talk about...?

This week's clip was something I was just playing around with. The thought process was "What If I mixed "Spanish Caravan" with 8-Bit Weapon? This is what my brain came up with. I especially love how it starts with 8-bit chiptune drums, a hip-hop bassline, then goes into bells, Spanish guitars, and live drums. I live for those moments.
